Status Bar

Shows or hides the Status Bar, which resides at the bottom of the main window.

The Status Bar indicates:

  1. Current line number with the caret, and total lines count (see also Line Numbers);
  2. caret position on the current line, and the current line length (see also Line Lengths);
  3. and offset of the caret within the entire document, and total document length.
  4. Decimal and hexadecimal code of character at caret position — directly after the caret.

TODO: what does it mean?
  1. Type of Encoding, which the document is to be saved in (e.g. ANSI, UTF-8 or Unicode);
  2. and whether BOM (i.e. Byte-Order-Mark) shall be used (only in encodings, which allow BOM, e.g. UTF-8 or Unicode).
  3. Type of Newlines to be used upon saving (i.e. Win, Unix, Mac or Mixed).
  4. Whether any unsaved modifications to the document have been made since the last Save operation.
  5. Current state of typing mode, i.e. Insert mode or Overwrite mode;
  6. and current state of the Word Wrap option.

The Status Bar responds to mouse clicks:

Note: The last Status Bar panel might contain active operation progress information and other such notifications from time to time.

Note: Displayed line numbers are irrespective of actual word wrapping, therefore, the same line number may span across more than one visual line, as long as such line is only temporarily wrapped by the Word Wrap option.
